Inertia is the tendency of an object to remain at rest or in motion. Newton's First Law of Motion states that an object will remain at rest or move at a constant speed in a straight line unless it is acted on by an unbalanced force. The effects of inertia can be felt every day.
Over the Rainbow (often referred to as Somewhere over the Rainbow) is a ballad, with music by Harold Arlen and lyrics by Yip Harburg. It was written for the movie The Wizard of Oz (1939) and was sung by actress Judy Garland, in her starring role as Dorothy Gale. The song won the Academy Award for Best Original Song and became Garland's signature song, as well as one of the most enduring standards of the 20th century.
In 2000, Over the Rainbow was recognized as the Number One Song of the 20th Century proving that the song that Harold Arlen worked so hard to keep in the film was truly worth fighting for. < Previous | Top | Next >
